Subject: I can't believe I sat through this
The previous reviewers all gave this 5 stars, so I thought I'd give it a go. It wasn't awful, but I can't give it 5 stars.

I'll give it 3, 2 would be an insult because it wasn't all that bad, but it certainly wasn't worth 4 or 5 to me.

It was painfully slow, and I found the characters and the acting stiff. It has its moments, but I kept waiting for it to get good, and it never did.

Subject: Neat movie
This is good stuff. Flappers in the office working during the great Depression and you would never know poverty here. These girls are well dressed and hair in place perfectly with lovely furs and shoes to match. I thought it was a sweet movie you hardly see anything from 1930's and here it is Hollywood at it's finest. Don't miss. (Open rebuke is better than hidden love.)
